This coming weekend, June 1–4, is Provincetown’s Sixth Annual Pride Celebration, featuring “new events and beloved experiences that uplift the full and fabulous spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community, including the Pride Cruise with Bay State Cruise Company, Queer Comedy Showcase, Pride Tea Dance, and more,” says its hosts, the Provincetown Business Guild (PBG).
And what’s more includes a Pride Festival and Rally, a “Feet over Front Street 5K Run/Walk,” multiple parties at A-House and Red Room, and a “Babes & Bois” celebration for the queer and Saphhically inclined at Gifford House’s Porch Bar … and even more.
Also happening at Pride is the grand opening of The Provincetown Pride Center at 115 Bradford St. This new venue will be open not just for Pride weekend but all season long. A gathering space centered on exhibitions and experiences, it will host gallery shows highlighting queer history, emerging artists, Provincetown’s LGBTQ+ legacy and much more.
The Provincetown Pride Center’s Grand Opening is Thursday, June 1, at 5 p.m. and for the second year, the PBG is partnering with the Gilbert Baker Foundation to present a powerful exhibition focused on the Rainbow Flag. “Flag in the Map” is a collection of photographs and stories that reaffirm the universal power of the Rainbow Flag to inspire LGBTQ+ people across the globe. This collection will be on display at the Provincetown Pride Center for the month of June.
The Grand Opening will also feature an activation in partnership with Levi’s, one of the PBG’s Pride sponsors. Customize your denim with embroidery, patches, and more in the Levi’s vintage airstream. Denim items will also be for sale on site.
